One of the teachers killed at Parkland had a CCW but couldn't carry at school. I have seen accounts that say he was a capable shooter. He died trying to protect students but wasn't allowed to have the right tools.

As for the dude in a plate carrier, an active shooter will simply wait until he is out of position as was the case with the SRO at Columbine or just kill him as was the case with the two officers at Beslan(since we are talking about terrorism). Waiting for police response is also a non-starter. Average response time after the 911 call is 6 minutes while a killer will shoot about 10 people per minute. The only solution is to arm teachers and staff. But screen and train them. Also harden school buildings to give the staff barriers and choke points to hold long enough for the cavalry to show up. Teachers, administrators, custodians and other staff have shown incredible heroism in these incidents but they didn't have the tools to be effective.
